My experience with the 07 waroo.

The bar is awesome. The finger grip things are really worth the extra money.

Kite is almost the same as last years. Flew the 9 twice in Baja and the leading edge tore so thats bad.

I didn't try the 07 bar yet, but the kites did change a lot. If 06' 14m was going like a jelly fish, 07' 13m is incredibly stable.

06' 9m was considered as a magic kite, very stable . I was flying it in the Bahamas, and couldn't believe my eyes when I switched to 07' 13m - 13m was WAY more stable than 9m.

When I asked a few guys with 9m how they liked 07' compared to 06', they couldn't stop talking. It seemed this was such an emotional topic for them, they couldn't just express it in one sentence. I guess if BEST managed to make 13m so stable that you can no longer tell whether it's gusty or not, I bet their 9m must be really something.
